[Qgis-developer] PyDev Debugging Protocol changes; remote debug plug-in issues

[Bill Bishop]

Hi Pirmin,

 I can only speak to the breakpoint code, since I didn't dig any deeper;
but w/respect to that:

on line 583 (or so) of pydevd.py (in the remote debug plug-in), the
breakpoint parsing code is:

file, line, condition = text.split('\t', 2)

A new parameter (I'll call it bpid for "breakpoint ID") is now sent, and
must be parsed thusly:

bpid, file, line, condition = text.split('\t', 3)

That was the easy part.  When clearing the breakpoint, instead of
passing the line number (like PyDev used to), the breakpoint ID is
passed, so the line number must be associated with the breakpoint ID
somewhere to clear it:

bpid, file = text.split('\t', 1)  # Line 628 or so

I changed the breakpoint "set" code, but it usually took a couple of
passes through the routine before the breakpoint became "active" and
execution actually halted -- not sure what that's about.

 I couldn't find any documentation on the PyDev site about the debugging
protocol, and what else might have changed.

Thank you!

->Bill
